BNP wants to take to the streets to oust the government after the party’s national council in mid-March, the party’s Vice-Chairman Maj (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed said today.

Addressing a discussion at Jatiya Press Club, the veteran BNP leader alleged that the government is obstructing them to hold the council scheduled for March 19.

Zia Nagorik Forum organised the discussion titled ‘Democracy and Independent Judiciary’. 

Different quarters are humiliating BNP saying the party has no strength to wage a movement. “But we want to take to the streets after the council for the sake of the country and people,” the BNP leader said.

He said the council will bring changes in the party’s leadership, and dedicated and tested leaders will be evaluated through the council.
